About this tour
The full-day jeep safari reaches parts of the park that half-day drives never get to. You'll head west through sal forest and open grassland and around lakes, stopping wherever your guide spots movement.
By midday you reach Kasara, the park headquarters, where the gharial breeding center lets you see the long-snouted river crocodile up close. The drive back takes a different route, and it's often the best time for rhinos and deer as the heat eases.
Yes, it's a long, bumpy day. But it gives you the best odds of seeing the shier animals.
